Career

Leftheris began skating with Nam in April, 2005 and quickly excelled as a team. This was Nam's first time skating as a pair skater. The following season, Nam and Leftheris won both the Regional and Pacific Coast Sectional, earning a spot at the 2006 U.S. championships. The pair was third going into the free skate, earning a total of 56.63, 4.02 points behind the leaders, Orscher and Lucash. However, because one of their lifts was illegal and therefore not counted and an intended throw triple loop was reduced to a double loop during their free program, they fell to fifth place in the overall standings.
Nam and Leftheris competed at the 2006 Campbell's Cup and won the bronze in Skate America in October, 2006.
Leftheris is currently working on his communications degree at Long Beach Community College.
